Woods Reservoir completed 70 years ago this month

Children play in the water near the Woods Reservoir beach in 1975. Woods Reservoir opened for public fishing and recreation on May 30, 1953, and quickly became a destination for swimmers, skiers and fishermen. It was also used for Arnold Engineering Development Center picnics and other functions. The Elk River Dam was completed 70 years ago this month. Its construction led to the creation of Woods Reservoir, which has since supplied cooling water to the test facilities at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee. Arnold AFB is the headquarters of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex. (U.S. Air Force photo)
